Trinity

I immediately put my hand up to block out the light that was blinding me. I couldn't see anything anymore, and it was all that light's fault. All I could do was alternate between squinting and closing my eyes to let them adjust. I was also trying to blink out the tears that had formed in them.

"What the hell?" I couldn't move forward at all because I couldn't see anything. This blinding light was worse than the full darkness that I had been in before. This was causing me physical pain just trying to look into it. Darkness didn't hurt the eyes like this.

As I sat there, trying to figure out what to do, I felt myself being pushed and pulled. Two of the little imp boys were pulling my hands while the third one was pushing me at the small of my back. They were trying to force me through the door.

"What are you doing? I can't see in there. This place isn't safe for me. Let me go."

They weren't listening to me, though. Of course not. They were imps and that meant that they were trying to play tricks on me. And even if they were children, well a lot of them don't listen when they're young either.

"Please, stop pulling me. I don't want to go in there right now." I tried to stop them, but they had already pulled me over the threshold. The moment that my feet went over it the same thing as last time happened. It was like I was being pulled into some type of vortex. I was spiraling and falling uncontrollably.

Well, it felt uncontrollable, to me at least. However, I wasn't alone. For some reason, all three of those little imps were still with me. The two that had grabbed my hands were still holding them and the other one that had been pushing me had grabbed a hold of my waist. All four of us were spinning and falling into that bright white light.

I still couldn't see anything, but I didn't think that mattered very much. I mean, when I splattered and died, I didn't think it would help me at all when I saw the end coming. It would be so much easier on me if it all just ended abruptly.

Only, I wasn't about to die, and I knew that. I was just being melodramatic. I was already slowing down, and I could tell that the light on the other side of my eyelids had lessened at least a little bit. I was coming close to landing in a new place once again.

How many times was this going to happen to me? How many more doors did I have to find until I found out where I was going and took care of what I needed to. How long was it going to be before I got to go home?

When I landed, it wasn't as soft as I thought that it would be. I landed in a slightly painful heap with the three little imp boys tangled with me. I don't know about them, but that fall hurt my ass.

When I looked at the little imps, I felt my heart break just a little bit. All three of them looked like they were about to cry. They looked like they were in pain and wanted to cry so that their mommy would kiss their booboo and make it all better.

Why was it that the more that I was with them, the more I was seeing these three little imps as little boys instead of trickster devils?

"Are you OK?" I asked them. The two that were holding my hands nodded and forced their faces into something that looked like they were being big boys that didn't want to cry. The third one, the one that had been behind me and who had been under me when I landed, shook his head no. He had tears streaming down his cheeks and was rubbing the side of his head.

"Aww, did you hurt your head?" I spoke to him like I was his mom. I spoke to him like I had spoken to Reagan when he was about three or four and he had hurt himself.

That was something else that was strange. The three little imps seemed to be changing in how old they looked. Most of the time I would put them at about seven or eight, about the same age as Reagan and Rika. But right now, they looked younger. Especially this one that was crying. The other two looked to be about five at most, a year older than Talia. But this one looked like he was about three at most. Was their appearance based on their emotions? That would be interesting if that was the case.

The little imp boy was nodding his head when I asked him if he hit his head. He was truly very childlike at the moment.

"Come here." I moved and spoke on instinct. I pulled the little boy toward me and pressed my lips to the part of his head that he had been rubbing, the part that had his booboo on it.

I don't know why I did it, but it just felt right. It seemed to me like what I was supposed to be doing. And when I did it, I got the slightest whiff of someone's scent. Someone that I knew wasn't here and was surprised that these little imp boys smelled like. They smelled like Reece. Not fully, but just a little.

"All better?" I asked him as I pulled away from him. That was when I saw him smiling and looking at me with those familiar golden eyes.

It wasn't just my imagination anymore. These boys really did look and smell like Reece. I just didn't know why yet. I did know that I could trust them. If they were part of Reece then they were meant to help me.

After I made the little imp boy feel better, I looked around me. I hadn't gone far. I seemed to be just outside of the compound and on the road that led into the heart of Colorado Springs. There was color around me now, but it was muted. And I didn't see a single person around me at all.

"HELLO!?" I called out, knowing that it would do me no good. There was no one around that was going to answer me.

'What do you think we should do now, Trinity?' The other me asked after my echo died down.

"I think we should go into town." I looked at the three little imps as if I was telling them and not just the voice inside my head. "Want to come with me?" The three of them nodded eagerly. "Then I guess we are going into town."

Two of them held my hands, the last one held onto his brother's hand. It really did make me think of something a family would do. But that was crazy, they weren't my family. They were just helping me, that was all.. Though they were really adorable, I wouldn't mind if we really were family.
